Hello,
I was looking at a datasheet for a sensor thats going to be used in a safety related application, I was interested in a B10 or B10D value, what I found was an MTTF value in years.
My understanding was that an MTTF value was based on the B10 value divided by the anticipated number of operations when installed.
How can the manufacturer provide an MTTF value in years if they don't know what my intended frequency of operation is going to be?
Any thoughts?
Kind Regards
